The Thunder Mountain Lightning was formed after the breakup of the Mighty ThUnderGround Alliance by 'Mighty' Martyn Xeron, Derek Broadsword, and Billy 'Hands' Thompson.
Early on in their existence, Star catcher Martyn had the living snot fouled out of him by a couple of unruly undead. Multiple and frequent serious injuries with lasting effects kept them in bad shape.
But through all of this, the Lightning somehow managed to fill out their roster and put some talent on it to boot. And furthermore, Derek Broadsword and 'Hands' Thompson made the connection to score just frequently enough to keep them in the game at all times.
The Lightning continued to grow. They became steadily more talented and better able to score. This continued right through the Chaos Cup II season, when the Lightning went undefeated, 4-0, including handing the Kings of Chaos their only defeat. Ever. (Of course at the beginning of Blood Bowl II season, they rematched the Kings and had four players killed, including Derek Broadsword)
The Lightning are now one of the powerhouse teams in the league. They are affectionately known as the Thunder Mountain Rehabilitation Clinic, due to their high team rating and history of general inability to inflict casualties.
The Thunder Mountain Lightning have made it to the door of success, making the finals of both Blood Bowl II and Spike! II, but have yet to win the title.
